Athena - Terrier Dog for Adoption in Monticello, Iowa

Athena is a sweet, gentle girl who believes life is best when spent close to her favorite person. She loves to snuggle, follows her human around like a little shadow, and genuinely lives to be loved. She may be a little shy at first, but she is wonderful with the people she meets. Even when she feels nervous, Athena looks to her person for reassurance and is willing to try new things when she knows someone has her back. Her trust and desire to please make her a truly special companion.

Athena is a smart girl who is eager to learn, especially when treats are involved! She is house-trained, does great in her kennel, walks wonderfully on a leash, and has good recall. She is currently working on her manners and learning to sit. With her food motivation and quick learning skills, she is ready to keep building on what she knows with a family who will encourage her along the way.

When it comes to other animals, Athena gets along great with dogs both big and small. Cats are not her favorite, and chickens should probably keep their distance because she thinks tormenting them is a pretty entertaining pastime! Her future home will need to keep those feathered friends safe.

Athena also enjoys the simple things in life, like soaking up the sunshine and quietly watching the world go by. She can relax outside on a tie-out without barking up a storm, content to enjoy the fresh air before heading back inside for her favorite activity: snuggling with her person.

Athena has a little princess personality and would certainly appreciate being treated as such. More than anything, though, she wants to feel safe, included, and loved. She is a gentle soul who thrives with reassurance and companionship, and she will reward her person with loyalty, affection, and plenty of cozy cuddle time.

If you are looking for a loving, clever companion who wants to be your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Little Miss Athena may be the perfect addition to your family.
